Compounding

“Bio-Identical” is a term used to describe a hormone that is absolutely identical in chemical structure to the analogous hormone produced by the human body.

WHAT IS THE SOURCE OF NATURAL HORMONES?

Bio-identical hormones are derived from sterol analogues found in many varieties of plants. These plant estrogens and progesterone-like compounds are transformed in the laboratory to their identical human hormones.
